Description of the products

The Jade Esprit Edouard absinthe, a replica of the historical Edouard Pernod, is an absinthe for connoisseurs.

By 1897, the house of Edouard Pernod boasted a reputation for crafting some of the best absinthe the world has ever known. At the time of the ban (in 1915 in France), Edouard Pernod had become the 3rd largest absinthe distiller in France. The Edouard Pernod label was considered by many absinthe connoisseurs to be one of the finest marques, certainly on par with the famed Pernod Fils, A. Junod and Fritz Duval labels.

Almost a century later, bottles of perfectly preserved Edouard Pernod absinthe have yielded the secrets of this famed producer. The exquisite taste of this antique absinthe is incredibly smooth and delicious.

The Jade Esprit Edouard absinthe is a fabulously faithful reproduction of the famous Edouard Pernod 72° absinthe that was highly popular during the Belle Époque. It is absolutely correct to the original, from its delicate tint, to its refined texture and delightfully aromatic finish.

We invite you to experience the unrivalled quality, tradition, and mystique that only Jade Esprit Edouard absinthe can deliver.

Colour: Pale amber/green with slight olive tinge.

Louche: Good thick trails and good action right from the get-go.

Aroma: Complex, spicy and hard to pin down, but the green anise is again a winner here.

Taste: Don't try to compare this with preban Edouard Pernod, this is miles away. But it doesn't mean that it's uninteresting, it has its own character! The anise, wormwood and fennel mix perfectly with the other herbs, including a noticeable peppery coriander.

Finish: Numbs the mouth a bit but doesn't force itself at all. Smooth and delightful.

Especially commissioned by Absinthes.com, the Bubble Reservoir Absinthe Glass is a delight to behold.
We are incredibly proud how it has turned out, after almost a year of prototypes and improvements.
The Bubble Reservoir Glass was directly inspired by a glass in the collection of David Nathan Maister, renowned absinthe historian. This type of glass was relatively rare, even when it was most widely available in the 1880s and 1890s.

The bubble reservoir serves as a dose, to accurately pour the right amount of absinthe without needing a measure. Chilled water is then added as usual, usually three to five parts.
A pleasing weight in the hand, without being overly hefty. These glasses are hand made (blown by mouth) by the makers in Europe. The artisan process captures some tiny bubbles and imperfections in the glass, making for a seriously beautiful effect.
